Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

Every time I use the Crock-Pot, I kick myself for not using it more. It is the easiest thing in the world (even for me - Miss Kitchen Nightmare) and makes the whole house smell delicious all day. Usually when summer comes around I crave salads and lighter meals, so hot, hearty foods are pretty much out of the question when it is 90 degrees out. But lucky for me, the temperatures dropped a little a few days ago and put me in the mood for some warm, comfort food. My first (and only) thought was to bust out the Crock-Pot and try one of the recipes from the Crock-Pot cookbook we got for Christmas. I came across this stew recipe and the picture looked so good I could almost taste it, so I thought I would give it a whirl. Turns out, it was amazing and of course mine looked nothing like the picture, but was delicious all the same, not to mention pretty healthy too. I added a few extra ingredients to give it more flavor and according to my hubby, even after having it two nights in a row, "It's a keeper."
